Lazer Broadcasting App - Very Useful

R

RF101

California (and Nevada) readers:

While surfing through Lazer Broadcasting's website I noticed the company was promoting an Android application for its stations:

Lazer Media - Apps on Google Play <Lazer Media - Apps on Google Play>

It turns out this underpublicized software is not just a "one-off" individual station app but rather carries content for nearly all their formats and outlets, albeit not continuous. There appears to be "backhauls" and "local breakaways" in several of the channels so the central audio source may be some sort of " master control/ingest site" . There's even audio for "La Mejor Network" stations - the first time that I have noticed it on the Internet, absent from any website

Some streams are intermittent - for example KMEN Mendota (Fresno) streams but with silent periods where the TOH ID would appear. Others like KXTT/KBQF (Bakersfield area) have complete feeds (so far).

Missing is the KMLY 95.1 "La Mexicana" (Gonzales-Salinas) stream which is so far a singular station branding.

Radio Lazer's website "map" launchpoint is <De Donde nos Escuchas? – Lazer Broadcasting> . There may be an Apple version as well.
 
Lazer also has iPhone app. I haven’t tried listening to it yet, though. I rarely listen to Spanish-language programming, and Lazer has most, if not all, of its stations on TuneIn. I only have a handful of the aggregators on my iPhone and iPad. I can get most everything I need off of iHeart, TuneIn, Radio.com, and RadioPup. Anything more clutters my devices too much, and there’s something to be said for minimalism, especially when you use your phone when driving.
 
The KMEN stream's audio has now dropped completely out from the Lazer app, not just the TOH ID. Makes we wonder if they're active on the FM dial. I will have to drive over there an confirm. Lazer's "La Mexicana 1480" in the Lompoc area occasionally does stream from its website but not in the Lazer app.
 
KMEN appears to be off the air .. I could not hear it in Fresno but Lazer's co-chaanel KMQA East Porterville does appear on the dial a few miles south of there.
 
I noticed KMEN Mendota 100.5 and KTNS Oakhurst 1060 are now carrying Lazer's "La Mexicana" format. The format's unique feature is that some stations breakaway for locally-originated content.
